Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria has donated $US50,000 (approx. $81,180) to directly support those affected by the Los Angeles wildfires.
The actress shared a video message to her more than 10 million Instagram followers, getting emotional while talking about having “so many friends who’ve lost a lot” in the fires.
The actress confirmed she and her family had evacuated their home.
“We’ve donated clothes, I literally emptied out my pantry to take down to all of the places that are accepting donations,” she continued.
Longoria said she would be personally matching the up to $50,000 ($81,180) donations made to organisation This is About Humanity in support of frontline workers and families impacted by the ongoing fires.
“LA is strong, everybody has been so helpful in the communities all over from Altadena to Pasadena to the Pacific Palisades. Everybody is on the street. Everybody is helping. People are coming together in beautiful ways, and it’s beautiful to watch” she continued.
The star concluded her video by thanking the firefighters and those helping.
